    I would smite parasites. 

    I only thought of this after your barefoot post made me think about parasites lurking in soil, waiting to attack their next  victim. 

    F parasites. Unless they're cute, of course. Then they're fine. Hahaha!

    What is up with you and parasites? Men are parasites.

    I'm speaking of the non-human variety. 

    They're on my mind because I found a GD tick on my dog yesterday and I hate them. I really hate them.

    I have never seen a tick here in Toledo, and we have some heavily forested parks.

    Lucky. But is it really so bad that ticks won't live there? 

    Hehe. Just kidding! :)

    We had them bad i Charleston, SC. I would take the dogs for a walk in the forest, then immediately check them for ticks. I would also strip off my clothes and shake them outside. My wife would the pluck off any on my back.

    I have a small bottle off 100% DEET in my tackle box.

    I'm considering bee-keeping or hazmat suits for myself and the dogs. 

    :P

    Smite Rupert and all of his minions, including Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Scott Morrison, none of whom would had had a prayer of being elected if not for the Murdererdoch media.

    I wouldn’t bet God on anything.  I’d probably lose.

    If I were God for just one day, I would make it a Youtube challenge.  I have to say “yes” to everybody for 24 hours, as long as their prayers don’t hurt or enslave anyone else.

    I would fix the structure of earth so there would be no more earthquakes, volcanoes or other kinds of fault that could cause disasters also make preventive measures against hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. Then finally I would reshape all the land areas into nice regular forms like squares, triangles, circles etc. instead of irregular land masses. 
    I might as well put a stop to sin, suffering and death while I'm at it. 

    Would be a sin to outdo Real God if  he exists?

    Plate tectonics is part of what makes the Earth liveable. Volcanoes refresh the soil.

    Well that is interesting; there must be destructive forces to make earth liveable..

      They’re not entirely nor only “destructive”.  Just like there are growing pains associated with puberty, or certain animals shed their skin, or other examples of the natural world, it’s the order of things necessary for life to exist.

    Near the end of the paragraph I said (if I was God) I would put an end to suffering. It's gotta work out somehow.

    I would pass on it; I find the concept blasphemous.

    I would simply pass an edict that the good shall prosper and the bad shall rue their misdeeds. Then I shall make it happen, the imbalance will have been redressed, and I shall fall back into untroubled sleep.

    You realize you sound just like God himself, of course. 
    [Sorry: Himself or HERSELF . . . or itself, if God happens to be homosexual or transgender. Anyone know, by the way. Deuteronomy doesn't seem to commit one way or the other.]
